Strange Snape

Speaking of Cho Chang.

Harry was actually a little stinging.

This girl had briefly entered his heart.

She was the second student in their Quidditch team to find a dance partner.

That person is Cedric Diggory.

Captain of the Hufflepuff Quidditch Team.

One's character can be seen in their sportsmanship.

Harry, who had played ball with Diggory last semester, knew he wasn't a bad person.

But Harry still felt uncomfortable.

Even when I saw him in the yard, I had an urge to punch him.

The worst part is this impulse, because he can't share Ginny with Ron yet.

If he told Ron would probably become Bill and support him breaking up with Ginny.

Harry has also analyzed this himself.

That's Ryan's bad influence.

Ryan was always surrounded by women in front of him.

This led him to have unrealistic fantasies, aside from those about Ginny.

Both Cho Chang and the Grey Lady were like this.

It's also possible that he digested the remaining marks left by Voldemort.

After all, he had loved Bellatrix under the influence of Voldemort's remnants.

But what caused him the greatest emotional fluctuations was not Cho Chang or Diggory.

That man was Dudley.

After Potions Class.

Among the crowd in the corridor.

He discovered something.

That means Dudley was invited!

That girl was actually in fifth grade.

Although she is quite pretty.

But it was a foot taller Dudley.

The invitation had a sense that she would knock Dudley unconscious if Dudley to refuse.

Even more outrageous, Dudley actually agreed!

Merlin's beard!

Dudley, the good boy of Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia, is not going home for Christmas?

If the two of them knew about this, and knew that Dudley had found a witch, what would they think?

At that moment, the wicked thought of writing a letter to his aunt and uncle flashed through his mind.

But then he gave up.

This is more likely similar to how Dali used to Dudley trouble for poor grades, hit people, and be criticized for being fat.

They always have a reason.

"Dudley just doesn't like studying, but he has the talent for it. He'll be fine when he grows up."

"Dudley is a good boy, he's just too lively, he wouldn't even have the heart to hurt a fly!"

"Dudley just has a slightly large frame."

If he were to write this letter, they would probably say, "Dudley is so charming! Even witches can't resist him."

The number of people in front of Hagrid's Hut has decreased significantly compared to before.

This is all because Neville told Hannah Hagrid the secret earlier.

And Hannah's answer was exactly as they expected.

The news spread like wildfire, becoming known to everyone within a single day.

But surprisingly...

Surprisingly, this incident did not cause any major uproar.

They all believed that this was a common trait among outstanding Care of Magical Creatures.

Just like Newt.

He can even subdue the Swooping Evil that feed on human brains.

He traveled around carrying a box containing all sorts of Care of Magical Creatures.

This was the only thing that brought Harry any comfort this week.

However, what's strange is that in this atmosphere...

Time seems to fly by.

Almost in the blink of an eye, it's already the last week of the semester.

With everyone else finding dance partners, Harry finally had some peace and quiet.

There were no more sudden invitations from girls in the hallway.

Ginny also had some free time.

Ron, however, got busy.

One reason was that he wanted to make Smoke Bomb.

Used for sale.

He appears to have spent a lot of money on expensive custom-made formal gowns for himself and Lavender.

We need to recover our losses as soon as possible.

Secondly, he practiced dancing with Lavender.

After all, with such a beautiful dress, one can't afford to be bad at dancing.

For this reason, he and Lavender even audited the dance class that Professor Flitwick had arranged for Harry and Ginny.

Draco and Neville are just as busy.

They were both there because of their respective female companions— Pansy and Hannah.

And also the matter of formal dresses and robes.

Ryan also seemed to be busy.

He and his girlfriends are nowhere to be seen all day.

However, his relationship with Hermione seems to have become strained.

Judging from Hermione's lip movements, she seems to have mentioned Phoebe.

Now, it seems that everything has been reversed.

Harry, on the contrary, found himself with some peace and quiet.

In addition, most Ravenclaw students have already given up on solving the Triwizard Tournament puzzle (they think they will probably have to wait until after the team competition of the Second Task).

He can now leisurely listen to gossip in the lounge.

People seem to be spreading rumors about the Christmas Ball.

But Harry didn't believe most of them—for example, that Dumbledore bought eight hundred barrels of flavored mead from Madam Rosmerta, the Three Broomsticks.

However, it's possible that his reservation about the Weird Sisters is true.

It was only then that Harry learned that the members of the Weird Sisters were all male.

Moreover, they were a popular band on WWN (The Wizarding Wireless Network).

They are now reportedly in contact with the Skywalker Alchemy Workshop.

I want to be featured on a TV show.

And some teachers.

Seeing that the students were clearly distracted, he simply stopped lecturing.

For example, their dean Professor Flitwick.

He allowed them to play games during his class on Thursdays—like jumping from a height to the ground when he taught the Cushioning Charm.

He then discussed with Harry the brilliant Accio that Krum used in the First Task of the Triwizard Tournament (Krum had said in an interview with the Daily Prophet that the Accio was Harry's suggestion).

But the other teachers weren't so easy to talk to.

For example, Professor Binns.

After all, even his own death could not stop him from continuing to teach.

But in a sense.

He did manage to put their minds at ease.

As he recounted the dry history of those Giant's rebellion,

His dull, hypnotic voice

It made almost all the students fall fast asleep.

It effectively replenished everyone's fatigue caused by not being able to fall asleep early because the Christmas Ball was approaching.

Professor McGonagall and Professor Riddle didn't let the students rest until the very last second before class ended.

However, Harry suspected that this was Professor Riddle's way of getting revenge on the female students for pestering him to be their extra dance partner (since students cannot invite professors to be their direct dance partners).

Professor Snape.

Let alone making games.

He was like he'd been injected with gunpowder.

As he surveyed the class with a sinister gaze, he spewed out venomous words.

Apart from Harry and Dudley.

Almost everyone got criticized.

Ron was among the hardest hit.

Nine out of ten of his sentences were about Ron.

They were saying why I shouldn't study properly like Harry.

Why do I keep making such basic mistakes?

Thankfully, Harry came to the rescue.

However, that wasn't what puzzled Harry the most.

But Professor Snape didn't praise him today.

Even while belittling Ron, they said a few good things about him.

In response,

Ron, "He's really bad, all he does is undermine students' confidence!"

I guess he said too much sarcasm today.

I've forgotten how to compliment you.

"However, I feel even more strongly that..."

Professor Snape seemed upset.

He looked slightly tired.

Moreover, I think I saw Professor Snape looking in Ryan's direction.

His eyes were filled with utmost respect.

"How is this possible!"

Harry, you're confused.

Only Ryan of us who know him, and those he is willing to let see him, can observe him.

Snape?

Cut!

"He doesn't deserve it!" Ron quickly shook his head.
